At the Rincon church in Havana, a man carries 17 lighted candles on his hands, arms and shoulders as part of a promise he made to St. Lazaro for the cure of his sick little brother. Tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the Rincon church every year on Dec. 17 to honor St. Lazaro, a patron saint of lepers.
